The thing I never really got with Zeppelin (my favorite) is Page and Plant got all the attention, Bonzo was pretty much worshipped by drummers everywhere when he died. Plant was Knighted. But, listen to any Zeppelin song and it is plain they are all driven by Jones' bass or organ, not Page's guitar. I (And, he did all the arrangements) In fact, when Page was in his heavy heroin days, his playing became very sloppy. Yet, Jones is the least recognized of the band.
That is really cool Sled and I agree, John Paul Jones is the most underrated musician in Led Zeppelin for sure.
Jimmy Page has always been pretty overrated and is sloppy at times on geet, probably because of drugs. LZ would be nothing without Plant tho.
Edit: Nothing is a bit over the top, but LZ wouldn't be near as big of a band without Robert Plant.
